I was watching Oprah yesterday, & she had a Dr. on, and they went over what the different colors of poop are possible and if they were good or not. They briefly mentioned white colored poop, but they just said that it was "bad news," & then went onto something else. It was hard for me to follow because I was stunned: I went #2 earlier today and half of it (no kidding, like a stripe) was white, and the other half was normal. I just thought it was a fluke until I saw T.V., what does it mean? Should I be worried? I don't have insurance ... is there anything I can do for it at home, besides eating crayons? That's what a friend told me to do... this is a real question by-the-way.

yeah I think it is more commonly called clay colored poop. And i think that is pretty rare so i would not worry about it. As far as the crayon thing goes that ah......your call

1. Chances are that you passed a fat tape worm (s). Consult a
doctor.
2. Had some very milky foodstuff. Then its absolutely normal
3. Check out your poop for the next few days…if there is a
reoccurrence see a doctor; if everything is back to normal
just forget it.

Is it white everytime you go? Cuz then yes , you need to go to the doctor....but it may just be something you ate....even if you have a lot of mucus or snotty nose your poop can have white in it because of all the snot you've been swollowing....so carefully think about what you've been eating and ....swallowing

i dont mean to scare you but if its a stripe it could be worms! i recommend you to go to your dr and tell them as on here its just going to be different opinions not a direct answer but i would get it sorted and definatley not eat CRAYONS you will make yourself worser doing that lol.
